Toward Low‐Power Laser Refrigeration ‐ Cooling a Resonant WGM Crystalline Cavity

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Laser refrigeration offers a method to cool solids to low temperatures by using only light. By illuminating bulk crystals doped with rare‐earth ions one can engineer the emitted fluorescent light to be at shorter wavelengths than the pump light ‐ thus extracting heat/phonons from the solid and cooling the crystals.

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces

SmartBot, EarlyView.
The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...

Visualizing Gradual Aging of Lateral Heterostructured MoS2‐WS2 Under Vacuum Conditions by Hyperspectral Phase Microscopy

Small, EarlyView.
This study visualizes the long‐term aging of lateral MoS2‐WS2 heterostructures stored under low‐vacuum condition using hyperspectral phase microscopy (HPM). While conventional techniques show limited sensitivity to ultrathin and amorphous oxidation products, HPM successfully reveals morphological and optical changes during aging. Optical modeling using

A Wideband Circularly Polarised High‐Gain Antenna Using Array Technology and Truncated Dielectric Plates

IET Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation
A gain enhancement method is presented for a circularly polarised (CP) wideband Fabry–Perot resonator antenna (FPRA). The proposed antenna structure consists of a multilayer configuration of closely spaced truncated dielectric plates (TDPs) and a ...

Perforation Enhances Sound Insulation in Plate Lattice Metamaterials

Small, EarlyView.
Herein, perforations are engineered into face‐centered cubic plate lattice metamaterials to convert normally detrimental openings into acoustically active features. Experiments, finite‐element analyses, and a reduced‐order transfer‐matrix model show that selected perforation geometries activate Helmholtz‐like and cavity‐mediated resonances, enhancing ...

A Dual‐Frequency Sensitivity Model for Optical Fibre Ultrasonic Sensors in Power Transformer Partial Discharge Detection

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of partial discharges (PD) on the power transformer tank demands higher sensitivity in ultrasonic detection. To target the detection frequency band for sensor optimisation and enhance sensitivity, this paper presents a dual‐frequency sensitivity model for optical fibre ultrasonic sensors.

Brillouin–Raman micro‐mapping of silicone‐hydrogel contact lenses: Revealing chemical and mechanical heterogeneities

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Joint Brillouin–Raman micro‐spectroscopy (BRMS) enables simultaneous, non‐destructive characterisation of the mechanical and chemical properties of soft materials at the micrometre scale, combining GHz‐range viscoelastic information from acoustic modes with the vibrational fingerprint of molecular species.

Artefact‐aware Brillouin microscopy framework for root mechanical phenotyping

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant roots continuously sense and respond to the mechanical signals of their growth environment: root cap function, mucilage secretion, and hormonal regulation jointly adapt root tip mechanics, shaping whether roots penetrate compacted layers or reorient around obstacles. Most current measurements of root mechanical properties require removal
